Checking the System with Control Solution

Why you should do a control solution test:

OneTouch® Ultra® Control Solution is used to check that the meter and the test strips are working together as a system and that you are performing the test correctly.

It is very important that you do this simple check routinely to make sure you get an accurate result.

When you should do a control solution test:

To practice the test process instead of using blood.

When you open a new vial of test strips.

Once a week.

Whenever you suspect that the meter or test strips are not working properly.

If you have had repeated unexpected blood glucose test results (as described on page 3).

After dropping the meter.

Note: Refer to additional information in the OneTouch® Ultra® Control Solution Package.
